Panasonic S1R vs Fujifilm GFX50R: Specs and Size Compared
Apotelyt used all the details from here and here to put the Panasonic S1R in their comparison system and it’s a very interesting match up for the Fujifilm GFX50R. I personally would still favor the Fujifilm GFX50R heavily especially considering how compact and light it actually is compared to the S1R, but the new Panasonic S1R is quite a technological achievement. You can follow it’s launch at 43addict if you’re interested. The official announcement is expected within the next 24 hours.
